Martin Chodúr

[7] Chodúr has also written songs for other Czech musicians, including Karel Gott,[8] Hana Zagorová, Monika Absolonová, Daniel Hůlka, and Štefan Margita.

As a multi-instrumentalist, Ďurko introduced him to other instruments, and so during his twelve years at the People's Conservatory, in addition to the recorder, he also learned to play the accordion, heligonka, and keyboards.

[12] At the same time, he began composing classical music and gave a clarinet concerto to his teacher Ďurko as part of the graduation concert.

The recorder was replaced by a clarinet, which he had begun studying with bass clarinetist Jiří Masný at the Janáček Conservatory and Grammar School in Ostrava.

[15] Masný, as a member of the Janáček Philharmonic, collaborated on recording Chodúr's Christmas album Hallelujah (Vánoční písně a koledy).

[16] He started a group called Eruption of Emotions with drummer Tomáš Novák, who was a classmate of his older brother, Marek.

[21] Shortly before the competition, he formed a duo with Petr Urbánek, a bass-baritone and opera choir member of the Moravian-Silesian National Theater in Ostrava, in which they played Klezmer songs.

The Česko Slovenská SuperStar singing competition launched at a time when Chodúr had graduated with a high school diploma from the Janáček Conservatory in Ostrava in 2009.

[22] Competing for the Česko Slovenská SuperStar title in Bratislava's Incheba Arena, Chodúr won over his opponent Miroslav Šmajda.

[45][46][47] Ostrava musicians, including pianist Vlastimil Šmída, drummer Patrik Benek, saxophonist Marcela Božíková, and others contributed to the record.

[57] The guest vocalist at these concerts was the Slovak operatic soprano Patricia Janečková, who sang the central duet from the musical Phantom of the Opera with Chodúr.

[61][62] In October 2018, as part of the fourth concert series Pocta českým filmům a pohádkám at Prague's Rudolfinum, Chodúr performed as soloist with Hana Holišová, accompanied by the Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK, Kúhn's Mixed Choir, and Jizerka Children's Choir, conducted by Martin Kumžák.
